Heidi Klum appears on the cover of the new issue of “Redbook” and inside, she talks about how her life has been since she divorced from Seal. They married in 2005, but in January 2012, announced that they were going through a divorce.

She said, “Obviously things have changed. But they haven’t changed drastically. He was never your typical dad who left for work in the morning with his briefcase and would be home by dinnertime every night. He traveled a lot. The kids knew it was part of his job. I’m a mom and a dad at the same time.”

Heidi also told the magazine how she’s been able to balance her life as a single mother of four children. She said, “Women are capable of juggling a lot of balls – we do things that guys just cannot do. Men typically can juggle only one ball, and even then they’re like, ‘I’m confused. Should I put it in my right or left hand?’ A lot of them have a very hard time just trying to figure out what to do with that one ball. And often they want us to hold that one too!”

She also talked about loving every part of herself. She added, “Would it be nice if my skin and body still looked the way it did when I was 25? Sure. But the fact is, your body changes when you have children; you get wrinkles as you get older. I like that I have laugh lines from smiling too much.”

Two years after they split, Heidi Klum and Seal’s divorce has been finalized.

When they filed for divorce in 2012, the couple released a joint statement, saying, “While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal, and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate. We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition.”

True to their word, the singer, 51, and the model, 41, have remained seemingly amicable throughout their split, attending events for their children together.

These two have always kept things pretty amicable in the wake of their divorce. They still go to events with their children together and it’s all so very mature. Kudos to them for not trashing each other in the public eye and for properly co-parenting.

Heidi Klum and Seal are so very close to coming to a settlement agreement…finally!

As y’all know, Seal was pretty pissed early on in the divorce and tried challenging the postnuptual agreement. After copious amounts of legal action, the singer now realizes that the postnuptial agreement he signed is enforceable and will be “substantially honored,” and that he’s kinda gotta go along with it!

Duh.

Seal’s been fighting pretty dirty lately, so this acknowledgement that the divorce is happening and that he needs to be more amiable is a big deal. As you may know, Seal erupted over the weekend, accusing Heidi of having a sexual relationship with their shared bodyguard before, after and during the couple’s separation. Seal retracted his comment a day later, because he didn’t want the divorce negotiations to become dirty or immature.

Too late.

Still, Seal seems to finally be giving in to the legal proceedings that will make his divorce with Klum official. Man…I hate it when adults- nay, FATHERS- act this way. Set a good example for your kids! You’re famous: they’ll hear about your immaturity eventually, in some way, shape or form.

When Heidi Klum and Seal first split up back in January, it kind of sort of looked like the two were splitting amicably. Looks like that’s not really the case anymore. According to Star magazine, things are starting to get nasty.

While the 49-year-old singer was reluctant to take his wedding ring off at first, telling talk show titan Ellen DeGeneres: “When you say, ‘Till death do us part,’ those vows hold value,” it now appears to be war between the parents of four.

Seal has since countered the super model’s request for primary physical custody by demanding that they both get equal time with the kids, and has also contested Heidi’s claim that there weren’t any joint assets that needed to be divvied up, Star reveals. Seal is worth $15 million, Heidi $70 million — so a lot is at stake.

Both those legal battles are still being fought and now a third disagreement is thrown into the mix after Seal used intimate shots of the children — Leni, 8; Henry, 6; Johan, 5; and Lou, 2 – in an ad campaign for a Leica digital camera without Klum’s permission.

“Heidi felt that the children had gone through enough since their parents split, and she didn’t want their private moments out there for the world to see,” said an insider. “But Seal maintained he had every right to use his personal photos — and, moreover, that it was a done deal and out of his hands.”

The German model hired a lawyer to demand that Leica retract the video and within days it was taken down.

“Heidi isn’t trying to cause trouble,” revealed the friend, explaining that Heidi has always tried hard to keep her children out of the spotlight. “She’s just trying to protect her brood. Since she filed for divorce from Seal, he’s been out with more than one young woman, whereas Heidi hasn’t dated at all.”

Despite a number of reports that the reality host has been dating Germany’s Next Top Model executive Thomas Hayo, she has denied they are anything but coworkers.

“She’s not interested in beginning another relationship right now. Her primary goal is getting the kids through the divorce and making sure they are healthy and happy,” the source said.

Man, divorce is so ugly – especially when there are kids involved. It just makes me so sad! I don’t think people should stay in unhappy marriages, I just really think it’s tragic.
